O poeta traficante de livros
(The book smuggler poet)
By João Borges Mesquita Guimarães Santos
Universidade Católica de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil
Kcal, 48 years old, defines himself as a poet, musician, popular composer and book smuggler. In Recife, Brazil, he challenges the vision of development of the big entrepreneurs and the city hall who built a huge shopping centre.
They did so without consulting the people who lived on the banks of the Capibaribe River and who lost their homes. The waste dumped into the river by this monument to the consumerism of the “preppies” also threatens the lives and livelihoods of the fishermen.
